Each of the competitors took their turns roasting Gilbert. Unlike the Survivor Roast of Rob Cesternino, there was nobody who bombed (or got bombed) on the stage. Ultimately, Jeff Ross decided that the best two roasters were Nikki Carr and Lachlan Patterson – with Nikki being selected as the winner.

When the players voted, Joe Machi was voted in to the stand up showdown. Rob and Mike theorized that the competitors may have felt that Joe burned through too much material after going in to overtime with Monroe Martin last week. Joe selected Karlous Miller as the guy that he wanted to battle against.
